Veteran Nollywood actress Opeyemi Aiyeola has called on her colleagues in the film industry to reflect on their stance amid ongoing insecurity in Nigeria.
In a message shared online following reports of a fresh attack in Jos, the actress appealed to her peers, particularly those perceived to be supportive of the All Progressives Congress (APC) government, to prioritise conscience over personal interests.
“We woke up to another news of t3 rr0r!$t attack in Jos. We should do the right thing. My colleagues, everything shouldn’t be about money, influence and affluence. Let us allow our conscience to lead us and do the right thing,” she said.
While clarifying that her comments were not directed at any individual, Aiyeola urged her colleagues to consider the broader implications of their choices.
“My wonderful colleagues, I’m not throwing a shade at anybody and nobody can tell you how to swing politically but you should think of your generation’s future.”
Her statement comes amid renewed concerns over security in Plateau State, where recent attacks have continued to spark public outrage and calls for stronger government action.
